IP Lookup
Look up your current public IP address with geolocation, ISP, ASN and timezone.
How to use the IP Lookup
Find out what the public internet can see about your connection. This tool queries three independent services in parallel — ipwho.is, ipinfo.io, and a chained httpbin.org + ipapi.co lookup — and shows them side by side so you can compare how each IP database sees you.
- 01Open the page — your public IP is fetched automatically by all three sources.
- 02Compare the rows across the three cards. They usually agree on country and city, but coordinates, ISP name and ASN can differ because each service maintains its own database.
- 03Use refresh all after toggling a VPN or proxy to re-fetch from every source. Use copy ip to grab the address.
tips
- —A browser cannot learn its own public IP on its own — it only sees the private LAN address (e.g.
192.168.x.x). So every source here has to ask a remote service which IP it sees. - —The httpbin + ipapi.co source does two hops on purpose: httpbin returns the IP, then ipapi.co looks it up by address. Hitting the
/{ip}/json/endpoint instead of/json/avoids the per-visitor-IP rate limit on the "what is my IP" endpoint. - —IP geolocation is approximate — it points to the ISP or data centre that owns the IP block, not to a physical address. Mobile carriers, VPNs and corporate networks can all make the location look wrong.
- —If the country shown is not your real one, suspect a VPN, proxy or a carrier that tunnels traffic through a central exit point.
- —Free IP databases cap at city-level precision (~10 km). District or street-level data needs a commercial IP database, which is why all three free sources will agree on the city but show slightly different coordinates.
frequently asked
What is a public IP address?+
A public IP is the address your network presents to the wider internet. It is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) and shared by every device on your local network through NAT. Websites see this address when you connect, not your private 192.168.x.x address.
Why does this tool need to call an external API?+
A browser running JavaScript cannot discover its own public IP on its own — it only sees the private LAN address. To show your public IP, the page must ask a remote server (ipwho.is) what address it sees you connecting from.
Is the location accurate?+
IP geolocation is approximate. It pinpoints the ISP or data centre that owns the IP, not your physical address. Accuracy is usually correct to city level but can be off, especially on mobile networks, VPNs, corporate networks or Tor.
Why am I seeing a different country than where I really am?+
Most often you are on a VPN or a proxy that routes traffic through another region. Mobile carriers and large ISPs can also tunnel traffic through centralised exit points far from your actual location.
Is this tool free?+
Yes. The lookup is done against the free ipwho.is API. No account is needed and there is no usage limit for normal interactive use.
